Ideologue is not a label. You have yet to answer my question posed to you several times. Who defines conservatism for you?
Disagree, it is a label.
Ronald Reagan is the nearest thing to true conservative that I have seen in my lifetime, and, as such, is my standard to compare against.
And where Reagan fell short was because he never had both houses of Congress at the same time, so he had to prioritize his goals.
